VH1 and What’s Trending go behind the viral video in latest series

VH1 and What’s Trending introduced the digital show Huge on the Tube with WT host Shira Lazar. The 12-episode series focuses on the story behind video sensations such as Jenna Marbles, Michelle Phan, Grace Helbig, and Mamrie Hart. “It was important to not touch on one-off successes, but on people who had used viral video to build a community around their work,” Lazar told Cynopsis. “A lot of these videos were pivotal in launching these individuals into the public eye.” A new ep will roll out daily on VH1 platforms, starting with choreographer and entertainer Todrick Hall.
